Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Massachusetts law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in Massachusetts is known as "sealing (CORI sealing)" and runs through the District / Superior Court.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Massachusetts?
Yes — in Massachusetts, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
How do I find someone's immigration court case?
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) operates an Automated Case Information system at acis.eoir.justice.gov. Search by A-Number to find the next hearing date, court location, and case status. EOIR is part of the U.S. Department of Justice and handles all federal immigration court proceedings.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Massachusetts?
Yes. Search the District Court / Superior Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Massachusetts counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
